In the 2017 American sci-fi comedy Downsizing, Matt Damon shrank his body in a vain bid to cut costs and live a simpler life.
Pastor Jireh Ang also had the same idea but no, he didn't shrink his body. Instead, he swopped his two-storey, three-bedroom, 1,700 sq ft townhouse with garage in Seattle, for a 785 sq ft two-bedroom apartment when he moved back to Singapore.
Mr Ang, 44, had been living in the US for 17 years and owned a warehousing and trucking company.
